On New Year's Day, the Strombo Show presented a four-hour special honouring the Tragically Hip's 30th anniversary, featuring covers and chats with the Hip's friends, fans and colleagues.

"This past year has been an incredibly emotional one for Canada's band and their fans. It marked their 30th anniversary and their monumental tour — a tour that captured the minds of our nation," says George Stroumboulopoulos. "On January 1st, we say goodbye to 2016 and welcome in the new year with an unprecedented gathering. The Strombo Show has invited Canada's best bands into my living room to celebrate and cover their favourite Hip songs and share their memories of the band, the music and of course, Gord Downie. Four hours of incredible music, memories and moments. There has never been a show like this — Canada's best covering Canada'a band. This is our love letter to the band. Join us, and share it.`
